A large part of the 'Langford Tales' project has been searching for and acquiring archive. This has been done with the assistance of Linda Franklin.

​

The material has come in various forms. Over a thousand photographs - some almost 100 years old - have been handed over to us for use in the film.

​

These have been gifted by local families and the 'Langford and District History Society' generously opened up their vaults to help us bring the stories to life.
